3D Printing

As we said , we use Solidworks application to design our parts, then we print them using the 3D printer. there's a lots of 3d printers , we used Flashforge Dreamer 3D printer using PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament , To print using this printer you should install Flashprint application and open your file with STL format in the application then you should select your setting and upload your file to the 3D Printer.

We printed half of our robot with the 3Dprinter like our wheels , box , arm , etc. and the other half of the robot (the body) is plexiglass (Poly methyl methacrylate), we used plexiglass instead of 3d printing with PLA filament because its more accurate.

Victim's Separator

To separate the victims , we used a  XL-320  and a part that we printed with 3D-Printer  , we had a lots of other options to separate the victims but this was the best option in our idea. When the robot catch's the victims it detects that the victim is alive or dead using its grippers , it tests the conductivity of the victims and detects their types.

L1990 Motor

We used four L1990 motor for our four wheels in our robot to move , you may ask your self why didn't we used different models like Namiki motor , HV155 , etc , because they aren't as powerful as L1990 motor. L1990 is a dc motor with gearbox and Asar Hall encoder , this type of encoder works with magnetic force.  

Xl-320 Servo Motor

 We used three Xl-320 servo motors in our robot , two for our grippers and one for our injured separator, we could use a lots of different models of servo motors that were even better, but they were much more expensive and they weren't in Iran and buying them was hard for us. this model has six pins: two VDD , two GND and two data pins, it has two pins from each of them because all Dynamixel models can connect to each other and create a servo motor chains, this can be doable with Roboplus application.
